The E sections of the stadium will be asked to wear blue and the remainder of the stadium will wear white to look like the helmet. :rolleyes:

I like it. It's a whiteout without calling it a whiteout.

Everybody should have enough time to run out and buy some white coats. Or even better, a super-bright reflective jacket. B-)

I'm wearing whatever keeps me warm...and no, I'm not going to throw on a white garbage bag. You can consider myself and the thousands of others who wear warmth to be helmet stickers.

I like that there is only one official white out a year. Anything else the administration does just looks gimmicky. That said, if the fans can pull off some sort of organic stadium facade, all the more power to them.

Whether with a garbage bag or 3M Scotch Brite, make it dazzle. There is a reason why the whole world of college football agrees that Beaver Stadium offers the most magical stadium experience. And recruits absolutely love it.

People in the east and west stands wearing the proper colors should be enough to complete the visual. I'm in the south upper deck so I'm going to dress weather appropriate. No orange or camo though.

There's a big storm supposed to be rolling through. I'm sure this will go well.

One whiteout per season is plenty. Do a student whiteout, like originally planned. All of this stripe out, helmet stripe, etc. is going to kill an awesome tradition.

I kind of like it, since we're one of the few teams who can actually do something like this (let's see Michigan do the same thing!). But, yeah, stadium gimmicks are better in small doses, but we need every advantage we can get this year.

I was downtown before the stripe out game with my family. These gimmicks boost the local SC economy a ton. Every clothing store was rockin' with huge lines of people buying shirts for their respective section. (I was one of them after forgetting my white long sleeve). I'm sure all of the other businesses benefited somewhat as well, which is well needed after last year.

Good thing we don't have numbers on the helmets.

Do we know the kickoff time for Michigan? Could be a daytime white-out, have we had one of those yet?
PSU Athletics said it's definitely not a night game, though a 3:30 kick will likely be dark at the end.
